Pernice Brothers Amazing Glow
a rare and wicked skill
to change the light or weather
no room was spared
no mood shown her mercy
i was a tireless fool
i thought i could do better
i left in flames: a paper
shade hanging from a light
and when it came
to the wrecking ball:
she swung it effortlessly
like it had no weight at all
and when it came
to her victories:
the genus names of all the
flowers that were feeding off
her amazing glow
i changed my master plan
i changed my friends and city
i go to sleep
i still wake up screaming
a dream so full and real,
you'd think i would know better
i try to stave off
a new day from rising.
and when it came
to the wrecking ball:
she swung it effortlessly
like it had no weight at all
and when it came
to her victories:
the genus names of all the
flowers that were feeding off
her amazing glow.
